I also liked Constance in The Primitive Lover.

The storyline for Her Sister from Paris was tweaked for Constance Bennett in Moulin Rouge and Greta Garbo in Two-Faced Woman.

Just found a webiste that says Venus of Venice exists at Eastman House... reels 1,2,4,5,6 of 7 reels....

Breakfast at Sunrise: all 7 reels exist at Eastman House and LOC.

Venus is presumed lost....

Jeff.... that would be great... I wonder what titles...

I'd like to but haven't located a copy yet.... same with her last films:

Constance Talmadge stars here in a dual role: the unhappy wife and her vivacious sister who happens to be a famous dancer. The story opens with Talmadge and husband (Ronald Colman) having a marital spat. They are bored with each other and she drives away to go home to mother. Colman gets consolation...

The pages were on my computer at work (long story) when the hard drive crashed and burned. Nothing was recoverable and as it wasn't my drive, the options were limited. I did find a previous version of 27 pages (sigh) which I had to have scanned off a 3-inch disk (long story) into a word file. So at ...

Actually I don't think I've seen Cortez as a latin lover. He's played leading men as in Torrent with Greta Garbo but nothing I consider in the Valentino mold. In The Pony Express, which I just saw, he played Frisco Jack. A quickie look at his characters names (IMDb) in silent films shows only a hand...

Just watched this gentle film co-written by Sam Fuller and part of a new DVD set. A look at the Hollywood revolution from silent films to talkies, Richard Dix stars as an easy-going cowboy star who flops on this talkie test and is relegated to the has-been heap while his sagebrush co-star (Fay Wray)...

this sounds absolutely terrifying.... like an audience of ROCKY HORROR PICTURE SHOW on tryptophan

Is this like the scene in the "Shanghai Lil" number in Footlight Parade where there's an extra who looks like John Garfield?

Somebody stole the Harold and Kumar film? Is it possible?

and Pickford LOVES that mud!

got mine today.... terrific.... love the Colleen Moore shots.

THANKS

oh.... the blurb about Moore could have mentioned her autobiography, Silent Star as an interesting read. I hope more of her films are restored/released.... she's great!

In Heart o' the Hills Pickford is a "night-rider" trying to drive the mine company out of the hills. If I remember right, she does use the shotgun on someone..... but only after a violent barn dance scene with a very young John Gilbert! Only an actress as remarkable as Pickford could get away with a...

I have Lorna Doone but have not watched it yet. Pride of the Clan is a very odd film for Mary Pickford, notable for her use of a whip.

Also notable in Mohicans is the score by R.J. Miller, which I know I've heard on other silent film tracks.... at least in portions.

This is one of the best tint jobs I've seen... some stunning deep blues and browns that still allowed faces to be clearly seen.... and also some very light roseate hues for sunrises etc. The camera shots from inside the cave looking out past silhouetted people and into the horizon were also exceptio...

I thought this was a very well acted film, and although the young actors are the stars, there were nice scenes with John Halliday and Aileen Pringle as well.

Tourneur was involved in an accident and the film was completed by Clarence Brown. It's impossible to tell. There's no obvious break in style or vision. The version I have is beautifully tinted, and the use of location (Big Bear Lake and Yosemite) is a worthy substitute for what should have been ups...

Harold a quick search shows 8 sound disks residing at UCLA with the video status unknown. The film ran 75 minutes and also features Anita Page.
